Maybe precisely to ram up the weirdness factor? Hisoka is pretty eccentric, to say the least. Still, he only has that kind of torso in his Heavens Arena getup. He didn't look like that in the Hunter Exam.

I'm not so sure about that. It's visible, but is it a conjured object? Especially as he needs to cast it over some kind of surface - whatever solidity it has is actually provided by what it's cast upon, like his kerchief.

The difference in power between an enhancer and for example a transmuter is pretty noticeable however. Hisoka can easily beat most enhancers though, due to the way he fights. He has ways of making people forget to use Gyo. And you can't hope to win against Hisoka if you don't use Gyo.

Texture Surprise is a pure transmuter skill though. It modifies the appearance of an existing surface. It doesn't summon a surface out of nowhere. Also he doesn't actually change the composition of the modified thing (usually a sheet of some kind), just the way it looks.

Pretty sure Transmutation only affects the aura though. I don't see how he could modify the appearance of something with just that. Unless he's changing the color and visibility of his aura and sticking it to it?

He is making his aura into deceitful texture. Basically, his aura takes the ability to change the appearance of sufaces it touch.

There is no difference there. It's just that an enhancer will be -better- at it, but usually pretty much everything a enhancer does other people do- just not as well.

You could say the same about any technique of any affinity save Specialization. Given enough time and perseverance, any nen user could ape any other. Maybe fighters have more reasons to try it with basic enhancement stuff, but it doesn't go farther.

And there are enhancement techniques - they're not just a little stronger than basic use. An example would be Castro's Tiger Fist.

Hisoka can beat most anyone. It's not a matter of affinity.

The razor sharp cards. THAT is enhancement.

Yeah. Probably emission too. But I was talking about techniques - the things that set nen users apart from each other, even within one affinity.

There seems to be a bit of confusion between basic nen techniques and enhancement techniques.

Enhancement techniques strenghten the attributes of something, whereas basic techniques don't necessarily do so. Gyo is merely the focusing of one's aura into specific areas of the body, usually the eyes. Ten is merely condensing one's aura to form a shroud, and Ren is increasing the size of the normally emitted aura. An enhancement technique would be something that utilizes one or more of these techniques to strengthen the attributes of the body, a body part, or another object.

(This is called a Hatsu)

No, it's really not. That's the beauty of enhancement.

Sure, you can have a "Hatsu" with Enhancement, but that would be more because of the nature of mastering a basic nen technique until you are better at it than you should be (because of spoilery rules about nen).

There is a reason why the "Hatsu" test was just doing Ren and training your affinity. Just by doing Ren or Ten or Gyo, someone is using enhancement.

Note, that's basic. Anyone can do it.

Remember what Gon's Hatsu is- it is in fact a "basic" technique that everyone learns as you should know, except for the "name" of course.
